COLONEL EVIE DIAZ

Evie is an officer of the USA Central Territory. She comes from a Salvation Army family—my parents were corps officers. At a young age that was where my path would lead. I have a sister and a brother who are both in ministry in The Salvation Army.

I made my own decision to join the church as a teenager. I worked at camp—a lot of young people work at camp and find their calling there, either to The Salvation Army or another kind of ministry.

Colonel attended Olivet Nazarene University and went right from college to attend the officer training college.

During her tenure as an officer, Colonel Diaz has had a variety of different appointments in the USA Central Territory and previously worked at The Salvation Army College for Officer Training in Chicago.
